Second Earth Phase :Day 10
Kobie's POV
I glared at Ray as he gave me the strangest grin. "Ray...what's up?", I asked and slowly slide down from the bed. "I don't have work... Remember?", he jumped from the bed and started waltzing.
"We are going to a PUB, not a dancing hall", I muttered under my breathe. "Heard that?", he said and pinched me. "OUCH!". "That's for muttering". "Is Cass coming?". "If she doesn't we're toast".
I walked to the bathroom and freshened up. Ray said i should go to Sydney's house(after several attempts to make me say i like her) and pick her up.
Kobie: So where are you going now?
Ray: The supermarket. I overheard her saying she loves grapes. So I thought maybe I could buy her some and chat a little.
Ray always steals my shine.
Ray: You know I can literally hear your thoughts.
"Whatever", I scoffed and prepared my breakfast.

When Ray had left, Kobie called Sydney over. At first she was skeptical about it, but after a lot of convincing(and weeks' supply of grapes), she agreed.
"And what does high and mighty Kobie need from me?", she asked me. After he politely kissed her hand, he ushered her inside. "Maybe you'd like to play a video game?", he asked, pointing to the consoles.
By the time Ray came in the evening with Amsterdam(knowing very well that Kobie intended on bringing Sydney over), Kobie and Sydney were chattering away, Sydney leading by 5 points.
"I didn't know you liked video games Sydney", Amsterdam said and sat by her. "I didn't know myself", Sydney chuckled. Ray just stared at the screen then back at them.
Kobie: A problem Ray?
Ray: No.

Ray's POV
Amsterdam and Sydney went over to Sydney's place to 'freshen up' as Amsterdam said.
"I thought I was supposed to pick Amsterdam?", Kobie asked me. "I should be asking you that question. Especially about Sydney", I said back. "No one said pick her up". "You too Kobie, you too".
I decided to freshen up again and picked up a casual suit. As I was pressing the suit Kobie went to grab a polo shirt and executive trousers. "You wearing that?", Kobie asked me. "Shut it twerp", I retorted.
I don't know why this dude has to be annoying.
He started making funny faces at me and I started wondering why he was reincarnated.
Wait.
Reincarnation?
I stopped what I was doing and stood still. "Ray?", Kobie called and tapped my shoulder.
Still with my head down, I asked, "Have we started our investigations concerning our deaths?". "No", Kobie replied and leaned on the wall.
Suddenly, we heard the door bell ringing. When none of us responded, we heard a bang on the door. When we checked who it was, there stood an enraged Cass holding two swords. "And just when I was going to slash you both, you're dressing up", she said. "It's a weekend pub bonanza!" Kobie squealed.
I had to start contemplating on whether Kobie is drunk or he smoked earlier.
"And you?", she asked, pointing the question at me. I nodded my head. "What's wrong with him?", she asked Kobie. "Some out-of this world feeling", he replied.
"Wait.... You guys haven't started investigations yet?!", she asked, dropping the swords. We both nodded. "OK. Listen. I'd go with you guys to the pub". "How?" we asked.
She smiled at us. "I'm a succubus, dammit. You can go ahead of me. Though I might warn you that you won't notice me or who I'm with".
